You have the wrong adapter for a large tractor tire
You need www.Gemplers.com and order Item no. AQF1 Quick fill tractor tire $13.95 You don't have to
let the air out, it comes out constantly as the fluid goes in . I have both styles, but the one with
the push button to let the air out, I only use on garden tractor tires because it is so slow. Here's an old post for you.
Re: filling rear tires in reply to Robert Cook, 05-11-2006 13:04:30 Let me tell you how I did it on a MF 35 this spring. First you go to www.Gemplers.com and order Item no. AQF1 Quick fill tractor tire Attachment.$13.95. Next you get two plastic 55 gallon Barrels with the caps you can screw a pipe fitting in. In one cap you put a fitting with a valve in it that you can screw a garden hose to. In the other,you put a valve stem like the type found in water tanks for pressureizing the tank. Then you take your barrels and go to the local car dealer and ask if he has any used antifreeze you can haul away for him. He has to pay to have it hauled away if you don't take it Usually they wind up with oil floating on top of the antifreeze. so if he has a pump to pump it into your barrels, you can stop before you get any oil. It takes about two barrels for 12.4x28 tires Then you take it home, and leave it right on the truck. Jack up one wheel of the tractor let the air out and remove the tractor tire core housing. with the valve stem at the top, attach the adapter you got from Gemplers, and hook a hose to it. I use a washing machine hose. Install the barrel plugs in the barrel with the fittings on them. Then lay the barrel down on its side with the plug with the valve on the bottom. Barrel still on the truck.hook the hose to the barrel, and open the valve. If you put pressure to the barrel,no more than MAXIMUM OF 10 POUNDS did I say MAX 10 pounds. It took about 20 minutes to transfer the anti- freeze into the tire. When it starts to squirt out the adapter, its full, shut off the valve, remove the hose and adapter and reinstall the tractor tire core housing still leaking isn't it you should have put the valve core back in the housing while you were waiting for the tire to fill. Don't ask how I know.Next step is to inflate the tire to 12 lbs. Then do the other one. Link will tell you how much your tire holds. Good Luck Oh, Don't get that $8.25 Adapter from Napa. Its to slow.
